My first blog

Well, my friend Judy Wood started a blog and I thought I would follow suit although I am sure she will post much more frequently than I will. But inspired by her declaration not to spend any money on quilting things for a year, I decided to extend my own moratorium past the end of the year to next July.

So a good way to get a new-fabric fix and not spend any money is to use scraps passed on from a friend's aunt in Iowa. Lots of them are oddly shaped so I cut a diamond template to get the biggest piece possible. I'm really tickled at how they turned out. Even with all the fabric I already have, something about using these scraps is energizing.
